36k isn't really much for an SV motor. IIRC haynes has a length between pins limit for camchain, but it's kinda strange you can measure one that's totally bolloksed and it'll be in limit... or get one that measures stretched to buggery, but runs alright and quiet. That's not on SV engine though, I've never heard of an SV needing it!

However, I'd ask Sid Squid about it.
